My favorite Olympic moment was watching Matthew Mitcham win the gold medal in the men’s 10m platform. I got to watch him train last year when I was New South Wales Academy of Sport (NSWIS). I spent the day with his coach Chava Sobrino who is a great coach. I enjoyed that day with Chava talking about philosophy of coaching how to communicate with the athletes, a great learning experience. Matthew is great athlete, but great coaching also helps. Congratulations to the coaching and support team that helped Matthew achieve his golden moment. I would also like to congratulate Coach Denis Knowles who guided Dani Samuels to a position in the women’s discus final. If I am not mistaken she was the youngest finalist in the event. This girl has a great future. Denis another great coach who is always learning and working to further his knowledge, I was so fortunate to be able to spend time and learn with these great coaches.
